While the idea of living on my own worries me most of the time, I am beyond excited that I will have my own kitchen, and will no longer be at the mercy of dorm food. I've turned into a vegetarian for the time being, because when I look at the meat here I just think "Hmm, yeah, that's still pink. It's not supposed to be pink," so I get a salad instead. Which, really, is probably good for me, but having peanut butter and garbanzo beans as the only source of protein in my diet is getting old. And we've already been over how much I like peanut butter.

I seem to be getting a cold. No, that a lie. I actively HAVE a cold. Just a small one though, where my throat is kinda irritated and there is slight, but constant, pressure just under my external occipital protuberance. (the back of my head where it meets my neck)
I eat probably 3 oranges a day. I don't know how I let this happen. (Yes I do - not sleeping well) But I hope it goes away soon.

YUM!

I like peanut butter.
On sandwiches.
On apples.
On bananas.
On celery.
On carrots.
On cookies.
On just about anything really.
I'll even just sit and eat it with a spoon.

Help!! I'm covered in beeeees!!

The bush at the bottom is always full of chirpy birds.

It was sunny today. To the point where I could JUST BARELY feel the rays of warmth on my face if I wasn't in the sun and it wasn't windy.

As much fun as flower shaped ice-cubes are, they are kind of difficult to get out of the mold. It's made of rubber, not hard plastic, so it just bends when you try to pop them out.

I am a general worrier, and I like lists. SO! Here is a list of all the things that are worrying me about having an apartment off campus next year:
*finding cheap furniture (futon, dresser, table)
*getting to the grocery store
*cooking
*being lonely
*being bored
*cooking utensils
*affording rent if I can't find a job this summer
*finding something to use as a pantery
*the price of things, in general
*where I will put all of these things in the summer while I am back in Utah
*walking to class when it's cold
*being completely independent
*having enough outlets
*whether or not I REALLY need a blender, mixer, mini-grill
*what the hell I'm doing having my own apartment!

I am Michelle, and I am a general worrier.
I am not however, worried about getting a Britta, because I KNOW I need one of those.
